Study examines the path to proficiency in prostate MRI interpretation for trainees. @ddeniffel @TU_Muenchen & @trwherrmann join @zklaassen_md @GACancerCenter to discuss learning benchmarks for prostate MRI interpretation from 14 MRI-naive trainees reading 200 multiparametric MRI cases. #WatchNow > bit.ly/4sPIhww

academic.oup.com/bjr/advance… 🌰The prostate is often largest in craniocaudal diameter 👉 so are many high grade tumors. 🛑It's easier to grow within the organ than beyond it. 🏔️Don't neglect the CC diameter of tumors

Really nice article by the PRECISE team! A lot of food for thought and deserves a thorough read by anyone who reads prostate MRI for active surveillance.

1/ Thrilled to announce that our latest paper is now published in @EurRadiology. We showed that adding #radiomics to clinical variables can improve recurrence risk assessment for non-metastatic #RCC. Full article⬇️ doi.org/10.1007/s00330-023-0… @imagingtoronto @uofturology @ESUR_JN

2/ Our decision curve analysis showed a combined model (4 radiomic + 4 clinical variables) improved adjuvant treatment decisions over a clinical base model. However, radiomics' added clinical value was relatively small (potential for deep learning?).

3/ Huge thanks to Masoom Haider @radfiler for leading this work and to all amazing co-authors for their contributions: @_kmcalpine @urooncmd @lawson6keith @ger_healy @emmanuel7s @TheoKwast. We hope our findings will help advance personalized treatment for RCC patients.

Attention all Uroradiology enthusiasts! Join me at #ECR2023 for my presentation on using radiomics for adjuvant treatment decisions in non-metastatic RCC. @ESUR_JN @renatocuocolo @imagingtoronto

Common practice & recommended in several papers is to biopsy man with -ve MRI if PSA density > 0.15. But where did this cut-point come from (brief answer: a pretty random paper in the pre-MRI era) and is it rational (brief answer: no)? doi.org/10.1016/j.euf.2022.1…

Radiology’s impact factor increased from 11.1 to 29.1 in 2021. Impact factor measures the relevance and influence of academic journals based on citation data. Thanks to our authors, reviewers, and editors who helped Radiology maintain its role as the leading radiology journal!

I don’t understand this. Would we say “colon polyp not cancer don’t treat”? Or what about prophylactic mastectomy for BRCA? Treat if reduction in risk > harm. Nothing to do with what we call the lesion.
Some focal therapists have to decide in their minds if GG1 is cancer or not. We have 2 options: 1) GG1 is not cancer = you should NOT do focal therapy for this 2) GG1 is cancer = GG1 found on biopsy post-focal therapy should be considered a failure. You cannot have it both ways.
